VIRA DRONES company is headquartered at the Aerospace Center in Brandenburg, Germany. The company has developed a unique heavy cargo drone VIRA-M450, which is called an airlift or flying platform. VIRA-M450 is a four-rotors aero platform capable of carrying a 450kg payload and driven by an autopilot. The main feature of the platform is that it is able to constantly maintain a horizontal position in any flight conditions.
This gives undeniable advantages in the field of transportation of goods and rescuing people. The main areas of the platform application: firefighting, rescue people from skyscrapers, delivery of goods and fuel. The platform uses 4 rotors with combustion engines on gasoline or natural gas. Using combustion engines gives a significantly greater radius of action compared to electric drones.
The company is already testing a first flying prototype and is going to introduce it in 2020. There was a full-size moke-up VIRA-450 presented on the “Helicopter China Expo” exibition in October 2019.
